Java Platform to be Maintained by GNU?

    Hey 
Guys,

 


      Has anyone else heard the story that Sun 
is passing the buck for maintenance of Java to GNU?  I'm not sure how true 
the story is, which is why I haven't called it "news."  My question to the 
group is this: If platform maintenance of Java did pass from Sun to GNU, would 
the net result to Java programmers more likely be positive or 
negative?


 


Thanks,


 


Michael

    The story I heard is that they are licensing the java code under GPL.  Not passing maintenance onto the Gnu organization.  Big difference.
